Something I want to point out, many humans can't get blood transfusions from each other but can still have children together. So it wouldn't really be surprising that vulcans and romulans could have children but couldn't get blood transfusions from each other.
Exactly. We tend to forget such limits in the modern day. Also blood compatibility between mother and child only maters little as there is a seperator (the placenta) in all mammals.

Meanwhile, my Klingon Doctor; "This, is a potato. *hands to human* THIS, is an Andorian starch-root. *hands to Andorian* The two of you have more genetics in common with those roots in your hands than you have in each-other! Even if I COULD make a half-breed abomination out of the two of you, WHY WOULD I EVER DO THAT?" Human: "Isn't your daughter half-Bolian?" "get out of my office."
Vulcans already had that rage. They weren't emotionless, they just denied their own emotions and suppressed them through force of will, displaying only logic. T'Pol states that paranoia and homicidal rage were common on Vulcan before the adoption of Surak's code of emotional control. So a Klingon/Vulcan hybrid's personality would depend largely on whether they subscribed to Klingon or Vulcan philosophies.
A similar thing happened when the EMH had a “mental breakdown” over having to choose between saving Tom Paris’ life and the female crewman when they were both equally viable; Janeway just erases his memories without his consent.

Well Vulcans and Romulans are the same species. Their societies split only about 2,000 years before the 24th century. 2,000 years isn't that long of a time frame for significant evolution to occur.
@@AnthonySmith-wc8ky - Well, the Romulans started off as a refugee group, so the initial gene pool could have been smaller than homeworld Vulcans. Also, Vulcans are suspiciously advanced as a race. One thing I have often wondered is if they augmented themselves long before they ever interacted with Humans. They would have had 20th/21st Century equivalent technology thousands of years in the past. Back before Humans came along, still paranoid over how they screwed up their own Augments and demanding that everybody else abide by their rules against genetic augmentation.
@@daniels7907 This would explain why Romulan's seem to be so physiologically inferior to Vulcan's (no telepathy, no super strength, basically just equivalent to humans); the Romulan's are almost as inbred as the Hapsburg's and the Vulcan's have genetically engineered themselves to be superior.
I only just now realized how much the ancient humanoid woman from TNG resembles the female changeling from DS9 and sure enough, they're played by the same actress. Fancy that.
Were all related because some alien's added something to our primordial ooze, yet all these billions of years later no matter how often its tried a successful cucumber human hybrid has yet to survive to term.even though we share a huge amount of DNA.
@@DrewLSsix To be fair, I doubt it's been tried with that goal even once, but I see your point; it would be impossible to get the hybrids we see in the franchise naturally and exceedingly difficult with even 39th century technology.
Yep. After billions of years of mutations, the precurser genes would have been so changed that the evolution of anything that looked like them would be purely coincidental, let alone be able to procreate with each other.
on one hand you have a character that can sense others emotions without having their own, on the other you wouldn't want pon farr to hit during "the phase".
@@rhiannongreen2642 Vulcans actually have very strong emotions. So strong to the point where several thousand years before first contact they were on the verge of annihilating themselves via nuclear warfare. Then a philosopher by the name of Surak decided that in order to control their emotions, they must devise a system of only acting on the logical basis. Vulcans that rejected this new philosophy fled to another planet and were newly deemed as “Romulans”. Vulcans conceal their emotions very well but at few times may lose control. I.e. Spock having the heart of a poet, Tuvok having anger issues, T’Pol lashing out at and shattering an object in front of Captain Archer. I imagine a Betazoid-Vulcan hybrid would simply depend on which culture they are raised with. They can use their telepathy to navigate around situations in a highly logical way. There would be a clashing between the empathy and logic.
Indeed! They could be supertelepathic, or telepathic-empathetic, and in any case, they'd have to decide how to deal with their own and other's emotions, hopefully without becoming another Sybok!
My "Flagship" toon, a 25th century Federation Science toon has a set of antenna, pointed ears and blonde hair. She is a human-Andorian-Vulcan hybrid. But what I really want is *"To play as a Tholian Captain. THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL"*

There's the "Inside Star Trek" record/CD which contains an interview of Gene Roddenberry with Mark Lenard in character as Sarek. In it, Sarek details the medical procedures involved with Spock's birth. Apparently, the embryo spent some time of the gestation period in a test-tube.
Accordings to "Spock's World" (by Diane Duane) Spock was more or less genetically engineered in a laboratory because there is no natural way for humans and vulcans to procreate
Like Trip told T'Pol. "You couldn't have had a baby since you were never pregnant." That didn't stop her from loking for her since she knew instinctively that the baby they later named Elizabeth was hers and Trip's. Instead of leaving that baby to die-like some mothers would do when they suspect there's something wrong with their baby-T'Pol returned with her baby to see if anything could be done and Phlox tried to save her-but couldn't-and T'Pol still grieved along with Trip.
@@Gardstyle35 I think Romulans are more culturally different than physical. When T'Pol meets Trip in the stadium during Archer's speech, she thinks he's disguised as a Vulcan. Then she's told by Trip the danger he'll be facing disguised as a a Romulan, she cries after he leaves her. If she's cured of Pa'nar Syndrome and her Trellium addiction by 2161, why does she cry af least 2x?

In 'The Forge', Cdr. T'Pol's hair was noticeably lighter, almost blonde with light brown and even some reddish highlights. I think this was her natural hair, not the darker hair in the first 2 seasons (I think she either changed her changed her shampoo or dyed her hair because she no longer needed the VHC disguise because she chose to also exchange the camouflague catsuits for the multicolored catsuits). I read that Jolene actually wore her own blonde hair only in the 'In A Mirror, Darkly' episode, but not 'Twilight' where it was also longer because the event probably also never occurred in real life.
@@IceWolfLoki Remans are an entirely different species. Most likely the INDIGENOUS people of Romulus at the time of the Raptor Wings Vulcans' colonization of the Romulan system they discovered!
@@DMSProduktions disagree Remans are just the descendants of the telepathic members of the Romulans that were exiled to the mines of Remus and used as a slave labour caste. Living and breeding in such a harsh environment for generations would likely account for their other differences. Much like what happened on Ardana with the people of Stratos and the Troglytes.
I would love to see a video about the racism or lack thereof with mixed characters. For example how Starfleet usually calls mixed characters by their "alien" race instead of as a hybrid. Or internalized racism for example B'Elana's disdain for her Klingon heritage.
Judging from what I remember, I think early on they did (remember General Order 7 noted with 'Half-Vulcan Science Officer Spock' in TOS), and may have moved to 'Pick the one you prefer for forms'.
It seems less to be about racism and more just a distinction of species. Alien species tend to have more dominant genes. And we also see them generally raised by the alien culture rather than a human one.

When half of the galaxy looks fairly similar, it makes sense that so many hybrids exist. Pointy ears and forehead ridges are minor enough differences that most humans wouldn't be turned away by it
The fact is: it is unrealistic that species in different biospheres would evolve to be genetically compatible enough. Even if they shared a common ancestor - that one lived too long ago. Even if they could evolve similar organs and appearance - that is just your typical convergent evolution, DNA sequences wouldn't converge like that, the probability of it is way too miniscule
@@KateeAngel I was talking more about the cultural aspect. I think it's somewhat unrealistic that so many species can have hybrids, but there's no telling what that ancestor species did. Maybe there's a special gene in humanoids that overrides the normal problems with interspecies breeding
@@Wi-Fi-El then that would be interesting how exactly that would work. As a biologist I cannot stop thinking about how can one make a molecular mechanism which would do that
Romulans and Vulcans are an example of divergent evolution, they both came from the same predecessor species, but when the Vulcans chose to supress their emotions to curb their violent impulses the Romulans didn't.
I think it makes sense to think of Romulans and Vulcans as the same species with different cultures, given their history. The mental abilities are likely due to training and could be learned by Romulans if they took the time.
Hey Rick, on this subject (or related to it), I forgot how Human augment DNA got incorporated into the Klingon genome, thus explaining why in TOS Klingons look more like humans. Beleive it or not I've got a MS in molecular biology (which I've only used breifly for employment purposes (2001-2005)).
There’s probably some way - when we meet aliens - that we can exchange genetic material. Physical templates, obviously means what do you look like between the two or three species, and the mental. A bonding process that decides which side becomes more or less dominant for compatibility reasons but blends them when they can. Obviously a very sophisticated idea, I’m not an authority on the subject so don’t take me as gospel, but I do think hybridisation is possible even for seemingly incompatible species. I see it as simply a process of what can combine, what becomes dominant, what becomes recessive and what is lost and what’s needed to be replaced and what needs to be added to maintain cohesion for the healthiest outcome.
Honestly? Life Finds a Way was far less sappy than 'love conquers all', since, ya know, Earth has had a few major extinctions (and more than a few minor ones), yet it's still infested filthy organic matter, some examples of which are rumored to exhibit inelegance, but has yet to be proven by outside observation. As for the whole Human/Klingon thing, well, there was that Augment virus incident, so the lingering affects of that probably play a part.
I did wonder how Naomi went from being born to a young child in such a short amount of time. Also very well researched video and a topic I enjoy thinking about.
I remember in one voyager episode its hinted that theres some iffy-ness with interspecies mingled when the crew employed the help of this ship dwelling species and harry kim and one of the people on the ship broke the ships species rules and got together. The doctor mentioned like bio screening and testing to make sure their compatible or that they wont get a disease.
In Star Trek: ENT episode called "Terra Nova", the hybrid baby Elizabeth was created and depending upon the outcome whether a 5th season of Enterprise was green lit or not, it would determine if Elizabeth would live or die. Sadly, as the 5th season was cancelled officially, it meant that Elizabeth had to die.

My theory is that in cases of species that aren't close enough to interbreed without medical intervention, the father's traits are usually dominant, and as a result the hybrids can interbreed with their fathers' species. This is because the maternal DNA is altered enough to be compatible with the father's. Supporting evidence: - Bashir said that Jadzia was responding well to treatments that would allow her to conceive with Worf. Seems logical, easier to tinker with one egg a month than a few billion spermatozoae per load. - K'Ehleyr vs. B'Elana. The former looked far more Klingon than the latter and conceived with Worf without medical intervention. The latter had less pronounced Klingon traits and conceived with Paris. - Spock vs. Lorien. Lorien looked and behaved far more human than Spock (and likely had red blood). Spock was expected to marry a Vulcan and presumably father children. Of course some species are apparently compatible through some genetic fluke, despite their massive differences in biology. Klingons and Romulans, for example. Also, Cardassians and Bajorans - it's possible that they had a similar variety of the precursor seed gene thanks to their planets' relative proximity. Others (e.g. humans and Betazoids) are just close enough that hybridization is fairly easy. But in most of the medically engineered hybrids the father's traits are stronger.
Actually, no, it is not easier to tinker with eggs than sperm. The egg supplies everything, including the mitochondrial DNA, the sperm only supplies DNA. Plus there is no need of millions of spermatozoa. Have you heard of Introcytoplasmic Sperm Injection? Apart from the hybridisation being totally scientifically unsupportable, I think, the therapy Dax ( and probably all mothers of hybrid children got) is to make her immune system tolerate a child with so different that her DNA ( incompatibility can happen even with completely human DNA- think Rh- mother and Rh+ child). You see, I am still trying to get my head around it :) Better not to think, it goes against everything I know about what species is and how reproduction works.
4:45 - Sarek... You know, Rick, I only found out just the other day that Ben Cross (Kelvin-timeline Sarek) Died on the 18th (I'm sure you can guess how I found out about that one). So... Mark Lenard, Leonard Nimoy, and Ben Cross have gone to the Great Beyond... and I'm sure if there's a ruler of said Great Beyond, he or she is likely tiring of all this talk of Logic by now.
I believe Tom and B’Elanna were expecting some difficulty in conceiving, so it was a bit of a surprise to them how quickly she became pregnant with out any help.
"We cannot create a broccoli-human hybrid" The noise I made when I saw that was, supposed to be, a laugh, but it came out like an exotic forest parrot screaming for a mate.
Actually there might be a small hint of medical manipulation to the birth of nayomi wildman. Her mom said there been trying for years and that it was difficult for them to get pregnant
Like the video, but there is another issue with Naomi Wildman, she is from an alternate reality (as is Harry Kim) as the original one died during right after birth and the alternate one lived. There was also a bit about Voyager being attacked during all this too.....so yea....
I don't think there was ever any suggestion that he wasn't human. I believe you're confusing him with the dead pilot of the "TARDIS" they found in "Future Tense" (who was non-canonically Kal Dano, inventor of the Tox Uthat, according to Star Trek Online).
There was a book called "The Vuclan's Glory" wherein a quater vulcan crewman was abord The Enterprise. The titular Glory is a large gem, which was stolen by the crewman. He took advantage of the fact that his Vulcan heritage was unknown to starfleet and the lack of visible phenotypes to frame Spock for the theft.
It's kind of weird that he was able to hide his Vulcan heritage that well, seeing as he points out that a) "bastard" is one term that doesn't apply to him, and b) they did need to apply science to create him, so there would almost certainly be a paper trail.
My guess is that it might not be a hybrid species at all, but instead a sort of "emulation" of incoming genetic material using whatever craziness the Progenitors/Seeders used to amplify the likelyhood of a humanoid form. The way they may have seeded the humanoid form might not even be genetic in nature but instead a "reality hack" that encourages mutations towards a certain type of form and anatomy regardless of surroundings.
Always fascinated by the hybrids. Your list here was quite comprehensive. Worth noting that when Jadzia Dax and Worf wete planning to have a child she needed some sort of medical intervention. Also with Zyal she said she preferred the hotter temperatures flavoured by Carpathians. I always thought this meant her physiology was more toward that side of her parentage
I once played a half-vulcan-half-andoran character in a Star Trek roleplaying game campaign. She had an even mix of vulcan and andoran traits. Blue skin and antenna from her andoran parent. Pointed ears and telepathic abilities from her vulcan parent. She grew up on the vulcan homeworld an orphan. The campaign never went anywhere as we were just in star fleet academy, but the character was fun to play.
No, it was Kalah's baby, but Seska tried to impregnate herself with Chatotay's DNA and thought she had succeeded. The doctor found out when he scanned the baby.
I don't remember the episode but there was a comment by a doctor or scientist that sometimes medical intervention is needed to increase success rate of conceiving and/or carrying a hybrid child.. So it is not without its issues which with common ancestors in some cases, precursor base DNA and a little help from medical technology it is somewhat plausible.

Ba'el had the forehead of her mother but also gained the ear shape of her father
Yes, Worf freaked when he saw the pointy ears! 'You are half ROMULAN!!!' He was devoed, cos he fell in love with her!
she also has that distinctive romulan brow, but it doesn't look too unusual compared to full klingons
In universe: We're all related.
In the writers room: I'm out of ideas... can they have a baby and we can make some quick drama?
Were all related because some alien's added something to our primordial ooze, yet all these billions of years later no matter how often its tried a successful cucumber human hybrid has yet to survive to term.even though we share a huge amount of DNA.
@@DrewLSsix To be fair, I doubt it's been tried with that goal even once, but I see your point; it would be impossible to get the hybrids we see in the franchise naturally and exceedingly difficult with even 39th century technology.
Yep. After billions of years of mutations, the precurser genes would have been so changed that the evolution of anything that looked like them would be purely coincidental, let alone be able to procreate with each other.
2nd writer: let's make Picard meets Q on Risa. that could be funny episode.
I feel like a Betazoid/Vulcan would be a very interesting hybrid.
Just imagining the mental health issues hurts my head
Psionic logic and mood swings between emotions and none.
on one hand you have a character that can sense others emotions without having their own, on the other you wouldn't want pon farr to hit during "the phase".
@@rhiannongreen2642 Vulcans actually have very strong emotions. So strong to the point where several thousand years before first contact they were on the verge of annihilating themselves via nuclear warfare. Then a philosopher by the name of Surak decided that in order to control their emotions, they must devise a system of only acting on the logical basis. Vulcans that rejected this new philosophy fled to another planet and were newly deemed as “Romulans”.
Vulcans conceal their emotions very well but at few times may lose control. I.e. Spock having the heart of a poet, Tuvok having anger issues, T’Pol lashing out at and shattering an object in front of Captain Archer. I imagine a Betazoid-Vulcan hybrid would simply depend on which culture they are raised with. They can use their telepathy to navigate around situations in a highly logical way. There would be a clashing between the empathy and logic.
Indeed! They could be supertelepathic, or telepathic-empathetic, and in any case, they'd have to decide how to deal with their own and other's emotions, hopefully without becoming another Sybok!
yes, my Vulcan-Andorian-Klingon hybrid is possible.
The Klingon-Romulan girl DID have an outward sign she was a hybrid, but they were concealed by her hair. Pointed ears.

There's the "Inside Star Trek" record/CD which contains an interview of Gene Roddenberry with Mark Lenard in character as Sarek. In it, Sarek details the medical procedures involved with Spock's birth. Apparently, the embryo spent some time of the gestation period in a test-tube.
Accordings to "Spock's World" (by Diane Duane) Spock was more or less
genetically engineered in a laboratory because there is no natural way for humans and vulcans to
procreate
Like Trip told T'Pol. "You couldn't have had a baby since you were never pregnant." That didn't stop her from loking for her since she knew instinctively that the baby they later named Elizabeth was hers and Trip's. Instead of leaving that baby to die-like some mothers would do when they suspect there's something wrong with their baby-T'Pol returned with her baby to see if anything could be done and Phlox tried to save her-but couldn't-and T'Pol still grieved along with Trip.
@@virginiaconnor8350that's some real subtle anti-abortion rhetoric you got there. Always sad to see internalized misogyny at play.

@@Gardstyle35 or is that Romulan propaganda.
Then we got a potential brand new people---Vulcan/Romulan-Human/Vulcan: the genesis seed. The story that I wish somebody would tell.
@@Gardstyle35 I think Romulans are more culturally different than physical. When T'Pol meets Trip in the stadium during Archer's speech, she thinks he's disguised as a Vulcan. Then she's told by Trip the danger he'll be facing disguised as a a Romulan, she cries after he leaves her. If she's cured of Pa'nar Syndrome and her Trellium addiction by 2161, why does she cry af least 2x?
I'd love to see a meeting of minds between Amanda Rogers (Q raised as Human), Jono (Human raised as Talarian) and Rugal (Cardassian raised by Bajorans), as well as the ones you mentioned here. They'd all have fascinating insights to share!

All that human dominance in DNA,... is probably caused by Kirk having banged just about any alien species he came across. Resulting in their being lots of medical background information on how to deal with STD and make healthy human hybrids.
Minor point: Nikolai was Worf's *adoptive* brother, not his foster brother.
Side note: A Q once approached a human (Captain Janeway) with a proposal to produce a child. Implying such a hybrid was possible.
Well, the Q are omnipotent, as far as I know...
The Q don't even seem to need to do the whole vertical tango, so I'm assuming they are compatible with anything and everything. In fact I'd guess they mostly need something else to act as a template of sorts, so I guess a living mind is the only prerequisite.
@@Reddotzebra Well, as they are god-like creatures ("onmipotent"), a living mind can be everywhere they see fit...
Wasn't there a story about a Q human hybrid in some episode or TNG, but if was possible because he chose to give up his powers and have a baby with a human? Then the baby started showing some Q abilities later in life?
@@ANTSEMUT1 I think there was such an episode. But I don't know if it would have been a necessity to give up the powers to be able to mate with a human or if this was just a rule the Q have set up to prevent some sort of misuse of said powers.

1:00 Because, science.
In the book Star Trek Enterprise The First Adventure their is a blond haired, blue eyed vulcan that embraces emotions and performs circus acts. It’s probably just rare that vulcans have blond hair.
In 'The Forge', Cdr. T'Pol's hair was noticeably lighter, almost blonde with light brown and even some reddish highlights. I think this was her natural hair, not the darker hair in the first 2 seasons (I think she either changed her changed her shampoo or dyed her hair because she no longer needed the VHC disguise because she chose to also exchange the camouflague catsuits for the multicolored catsuits). I read that Jolene actually wore her own blonde hair only in the 'In A Mirror, Darkly' episode, but not 'Twilight' where it was also longer because the event probably also never occurred in real life.

Andorian/Aenar hybrids would be no different than, say, an African/Scandinavian mix here in reality
Or a Romulan/Reman/Vulcan mix.
@@IceWolfLoki Remans are an entirely different species. Most likely the INDIGENOUS people of Romulus at the time of the Raptor Wings Vulcans' colonization of the Romulan system they discovered!
@@DMSProduktions disagree Remans are just the descendants of the telepathic members of the Romulans that were exiled to the mines of Remus and used as a slave labour caste. Living and breeding in such a harsh environment for generations would likely account for their other differences. Much like what happened on Ardana with the people of Stratos and the Troglytes.
@@IceWolfLoki Oooh idk. 2000 years isn't really enough for such grotesque 'evolutions'! I'm pretty sure the 'Remans' were the indigines of Romulus!
I would love to see a video about the racism or lack thereof with mixed characters. For example how Starfleet usually calls mixed characters by their "alien" race instead of as a hybrid. Or internalized racism for example B'Elana's disdain for her Klingon heritage.
Judging from what I remember, I think early on they did (remember General Order 7 noted with 'Half-Vulcan Science Officer Spock' in TOS), and may have moved to 'Pick the one you prefer for forms'.
It seems less to be about racism and more just a distinction of species. Alien species tend to have more dominant genes. And we also see them generally raised by the alien culture rather than a human one.
@@Qaianna I'd say referring to Spock as "half Vulcan" may have stemmed from the fact that he was primarily on human ships. On a Vulcan run ship he would probably be referred to as "half human Starfleet Science Officer Spock" and on a ship run by neither, say... Andorians, they'd refer to him as "half human half asshole."
@@polarknight5376 Shran called Archer,Trip, and Reed "pink skins", but I didn't hear him call Travis, Hoshi or T'Pol anything. HD couldn't have called T'Pol "green-skin" as Orions were more green skinned than she was and she was quite fair-skinned even for a Vulcan-except for the bruises on her face.
@Virginia Connor In the books, Shran started to call Travis "pinkskin" and then paused awkwardly.
When half of the galaxy looks fairly similar, it makes sense that so many hybrids exist. Pointy ears and forehead ridges are minor enough differences that most humans wouldn't be turned away by it
The fact is: it is unrealistic that species in different biospheres would evolve to be genetically compatible enough. Even if they shared a common ancestor - that one lived too long ago. Even if they could evolve similar organs and appearance - that is just your typical convergent evolution, DNA sequences wouldn't converge like that, the probability of it is way too miniscule
@@KateeAngel I was talking more about the cultural aspect. I think it's somewhat unrealistic that so many species can have hybrids, but there's no telling what that ancestor species did. Maybe there's a special gene in humanoids that overrides the normal problems with interspecies breeding
@@Wi-Fi-El then that would be interesting how exactly that would work. As a biologist I cannot stop thinking about how can one make a molecular mechanism which would do that
Romulans and Vulcans are an example of divergent evolution, they both came from the same predecessor species, but when the Vulcans chose to supress their emotions to curb their violent impulses the Romulans didn't.
I think it makes sense to think of Romulans and Vulcans as the same species with different cultures, given their history. The mental abilities are likely due to training and could be learned by Romulans if they took the time.
Hey Rick, on this subject (or related to it), I forgot how Human augment DNA got incorporated into the Klingon genome, thus explaining why in TOS Klingons look more like humans. Beleive it or not I've got a MS in molecular biology (which I've only used breifly for employment purposes (2001-2005)).
There’s probably some way - when we meet aliens - that we can exchange genetic material. Physical templates, obviously means what do you look like between the two or three species, and the mental. A bonding process that decides which side becomes more or less dominant for compatibility reasons but blends them when they can. Obviously a very sophisticated idea, I’m not an authority on the subject so don’t take me as gospel, but I do think hybridisation is possible even for seemingly incompatible species. I see it as simply a process of what can combine, what becomes dominant, what becomes recessive and what is lost and what’s needed to be replaced and what needs to be added to maintain cohesion for the healthiest outcome.
Honestly? Life Finds a Way was far less sappy than 'love conquers all', since, ya know, Earth has had a few major extinctions (and more than a few minor ones), yet it's still infested filthy organic matter, some examples of which are rumored to exhibit inelegance, but has yet to be proven by outside observation.
As for the whole Human/Klingon thing, well, there was that Augment virus incident, so the lingering affects of that probably play a part.
I did wonder how Naomi went from being born to a young child in such a short amount of time.
Also very well researched video and a topic I enjoy thinking about.
I remember in one voyager episode its hinted that theres some iffy-ness with interspecies mingled when the crew employed the help of this ship dwelling species and harry kim and one of the people on the ship broke the ships species rules and got together. The doctor mentioned like bio screening and testing to make sure their compatible or that they wont get a disease.

In Star Trek: ENT episode called "Terra Nova", the hybrid baby Elizabeth was created and depending upon the outcome whether a 5th season of Enterprise was green lit or not, it would determine if Elizabeth would live or die.

The Romulan/Vulcan ear trait is always dominant, Worf found out that she was "Romulan" when he "Romantically" moved her hair back and saw her ears
Vulcans are actually very emotional but they suppress most of it, or they would be similar to a bipolar human with very steep swop of emotions
3:17)I often asked, "Who was K'Ehleyr's father?". There was 6 "The Captain's Table" books. A Capts only bar. Capts from different times.They could not reveal any one's future. A Klingon woman knowing of Pike's future accident spent a night with him. Kirk's nephew got involved with a Klingon woman. Kirk explored strange new women.
10:45)There's one possible reason for Bruta's forehead. After series books explained why the ST:TOS Klingon were not the same. The ST:TOS Klingons were the result of a science experiment escaping the lab. A vaccine was developed & sprayed over the cities. Could be that his ancestors and he were not "cured" completely?

Sounds like something the founders would make in a lab.
That baby would come out of the womb/gestation chamber ready for battle!
It would have to be a hybrid of a Klingon female and a Jem'hadar male, since Jem'hadar have no females.
I think the whole point of the line about the Romulan hospital on Durna was that they WERE the same species and could have cared for wounded Vulcans. They just didn't want to for security/expansion reasons.
My theory is that in cases of species that aren't close enough to interbreed without medical intervention, the father's traits are usually dominant, and as a result the hybrids can interbreed with their fathers' species. This is because the maternal DNA is altered enough to be compatible with the father's. Supporting evidence:
- Bashir said that Jadzia was responding well to treatments that would allow her to conceive with Worf. Seems logical, easier to tinker with one egg a month than a few billion spermatozoae per load.
- K'Ehleyr vs. B'Elana. The former looked far more Klingon than the latter and conceived with Worf without medical intervention. The latter had less pronounced Klingon traits and conceived with Paris.
- Spock vs. Lorien. Lorien looked and behaved far more human than Spock (and likely had red blood). Spock was expected to marry a Vulcan and presumably father children.
Of course some species are apparently compatible through some genetic fluke, despite their massive differences in biology. Klingons and Romulans, for example. Also, Cardassians and Bajorans - it's possible that they had a similar variety of the precursor seed gene thanks to their planets' relative proximity. Others (e.g. humans and Betazoids) are just close enough that hybridization is fairly easy. But in most of the medically engineered hybrids the father's traits are stronger.
An Interesting fact. Paternal Genes are more dominant compared to Maternal Genes.
So your theory does actually have a bit of weight.
What I'm wondering is if all species have compatible mitochondria.
@@fenrisvermundr2516 in reality paternal genes are not more dominant though. Dominance depends on other things.
Imagine what the students have to learn in biology class in the 24th century...
Actually, no, it is not easier to tinker with eggs than sperm. The egg supplies everything, including the mitochondrial DNA, the sperm only supplies DNA. Plus there is no need of millions of spermatozoa. Have you heard of Introcytoplasmic Sperm Injection? Apart from the hybridisation being totally scientifically unsupportable, I think, the therapy Dax ( and probably all mothers of hybrid children got) is to make her immune system tolerate a child with so different that her DNA ( incompatibility can happen even with completely human DNA- think Rh- mother and Rh+ child). You see, I am still trying to get my head around it :) Better not to think, it goes against everything I know about what species is and how reproduction works.
4:45 - Sarek... You know, Rick, I only found out just the other day that Ben Cross (Kelvin-timeline Sarek) Died on the 18th (I'm sure you can guess how I found out about that one). So... Mark Lenard, Leonard Nimoy, and Ben Cross have gone to the Great Beyond... and I'm sure if there's a ruler of said Great Beyond, he or she is likely tiring of all this talk of Logic by now.
I believe Tom and B’Elanna were expecting some difficulty in conceiving, so it was a bit of a surprise to them how quickly she became pregnant with out any help.
She was half-human, so her DNA was more compatible with a full human then a full Klingon with a full human, must have helped.
"We cannot create a broccoli-human hybrid"
The noise I made when I saw that was, supposed to be, a laugh, but it came out like an exotic forest parrot screaming for a mate.
Actually there might be a small hint of medical manipulation to the birth of nayomi wildman. Her mom said there been trying for years and that it was difficult for them to get pregnant
Humans already have that problem with other humans. There is no evidence that it was because the child would be a hybrid but it could be a factor
Like the video, but there is another issue with Naomi Wildman, she is from an alternate reality (as is Harry Kim) as the original one died during right after birth and the alternate one lived.
There was also a bit about Voyager being attacked during all this too.....so yea....
What about that ugly hybrid guy from the future who appeared on Enterprise? Daniels? He was from a dozen different species, as I recall.
I don't think there was ever any suggestion that he wasn't human. I believe you're confusing him with the dead pilot of the "TARDIS" they found in "Future Tense" (who was non-canonically Kal Dano, inventor of the Tox Uthat, according to Star Trek Online).
There was a book called "The Vuclan's Glory" wherein a quater vulcan crewman was abord The Enterprise. The titular Glory is a large gem, which was stolen by the crewman. He took advantage of the fact that his Vulcan heritage was unknown to starfleet and the lack of visible phenotypes to frame Spock for the theft.
It's kind of weird that he was able to hide his Vulcan heritage that well, seeing as he points out that a) "bastard" is one term that doesn't apply to him, and b) they did need to apply science to create him, so there would almost certainly be a paper trail.
My guess is that it might not be a hybrid species at all, but instead a sort of "emulation" of incoming genetic material using whatever craziness the Progenitors/Seeders used to amplify the likelyhood of a humanoid form.
The way they may have seeded the humanoid form might not even be genetic in nature but instead a "reality hack" that encourages mutations towards a certain type of form and anatomy regardless of surroundings.
Always fascinated by the hybrids. Your list here was quite comprehensive. Worth noting that when Jadzia Dax and Worf wete planning to have a child she needed some sort of medical intervention. Also with Zyal she said she preferred the hotter temperatures flavoured by Carpathians. I always thought this meant her physiology was more toward that side of her parentage
Plot Twist: All Star Trek species are Asari
I once played a half-vulcan-half-andoran character in a Star Trek roleplaying game campaign. She had an even mix of vulcan and andoran traits. Blue skin and antenna from her andoran parent. Pointed ears and telepathic abilities from her vulcan parent. She grew up on the vulcan homeworld an orphan. The campaign never went anywhere as we were just in star fleet academy, but the character was fun to play.
I'd love to see a klingon Ferengi hybrid or a Vulcan Bajoran.
If Quark and Grilka didn't divorce that could have happened.
Ba'el did have physical features that gave away her lineage. When Worf tucked her hair behind her ear he saw them and said "You're half Romulan?"
9:00 AFAIR the father of this child was actually Chakotay. So a human-cardassian hybrid.
No, it was Kalah's baby, but Seska tried to impregnate herself with Chatotay's DNA and thought she had succeeded. The doctor found out when he scanned the baby.
I don't remember the episode but there was a comment by a doctor or scientist that sometimes medical intervention is needed to increase success rate of conceiving and/or carrying a hybrid child.. So it is not without its issues which with common ancestors in some cases, precursor base DNA and a little help from medical technology it is somewhat plausible.
I'd like to see a Klingon-Vulcan hybrid.

@@kennethrapp1379 I wonder about the environmental requirements. I think it wouldn't be that high as an ordinary Tholian and not as low as an ordinary Human. I think 100-150° Celsius would be comfortable for the offspring. Tholians are my favourite species (as a spider lover).
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!! I SHOULD NOT BE!!!!!!!!!!! DEAR GOD EVERY SECOND OF LIFE IS NOTHING BUT HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
- First words uttered by Carl, the first Human Tholian hybrid-
@@climberly I think we've got bigger issue here. Father's uhm... substance will be vaporised before impregnating a Tholian. On the other hand, mother's uhm... interior will be cooked from the inside if she holds a Tholian-Human hybrid baby.
@@cmdrtianyilin8107 you make a good point. but we can always tuvix them together to make an abomination of nature worthy of janeways ire.
What about a Tholian-Breen hybrid?
1:59 yea i remember that episode, they had to beam the baby out during birth, due to the spikes on the baby's head from ripping the uterus wall.
13:32 A viable conTRAception? We’re trying to stop them reproducing now? Lol
I caught that! He meant viable 'conception'! LOL!
If I remember from the books, there was a half-vulcan who was more human than vulcan as well.
Sample size is too small to come to any conclusion. I know a family where the kids are a mix of Scottish, Turkish and Japanese ethnicity, and they got one kid who looks Japanese and has a Scottish temper, one kid who looks Arab (?) and is the chillest kid I’ve even met and an absolute bonkers ginger kid with green eyes who could pass for a slightly tanned Scot. And they’re German, just to add an extra nationality into the confusion.
Sacred chalice of Rick's caught me off guard 😂 Hilarious hahahaha
Binary Cloning, the only two species we know can naturally procreate, outside of the obvious Vulcans and Romulans, are Bajorans and Cardassians, and according to some theories they share a common ancestor.
I was going to mention that about Bajoran/Cardassian. It's massive apocryphal conjecture, but not absurd what with how Star Trek biology has not a damn thing in common with reality.
Thanks for doing my choice of video topics :)
